The only reason Chris Hadfield isn't the coolest guy on earth is that he's not on earth
Actually he is. The International Space Station is in the Thermosphere (just below the Exosphere)
hes the coolest guy on space
Actually he is on earth, he hasn't been on the space station for a long time

Technically this is probably the highest budget music video ever filmed.
Your right
150 billion USD. That is more than what I will get in my life.
And the HIGHEST music video ever produced
I mean, technically anything shot on the interstate cost more. (~half a trillion dollars all together)
DevinDTV when you factor in transportation costs (which that analysis surprisingly leaves out), it most certainly is. I wasn’t even factoring the cost of the location. Seems a strange to include the entire cost of the location, when most music videos that film on the interstate highway don’t include the entire cost of producing that infrastructure in their budget. The average space shuttle launch is 450million.
I still love the fact Mr. David Bowie himself Loved this so much, he fought with his own record company to get this back up on youtube. Rest well David, you certainly earned it.
AMEN!! 🙌
I didn't know this! Wow. What a great guy.
he would totally would have fought with his record company about bringing "The man who sold the world" with pyrocynical's Entropy Zero 2 intro song.
Really shitty how things turn out.
What.. didn't know that.
@@user-eh2vi6lk7n an actual astronaut recording his version of a Bowie song about space exploration IN SPACE has a lot more weight to it than a content creator making a video.
The guitar slowly drifting in the ISS,... is one of the most surreal cinematic shots ever recorded, it's one of those things that is beautiful for just it's own existence.
I loved that moment, too…
There's something surreal about seeing something that you associate with SF movies and literature, knowing that it's real footage, made in space. The answer to the first questions posed by our ancestors looking into starry night sky.
Not only that, the guitar is rescued by the hero in part 2 of that cinematic floating guitar meme...Major Tom presumably has pushed off from something off camera and zooms (literally, ha ha...yeah!) down to save the precious guitar from crashing into the walls of the tin can.
The fastest moving guitar in the world

Genius !
DID HE SERIOUSLY MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE DAVID BOWIE SONG *IN SPACE* ?!
Been that way for about a decade, but yes, he did.
@@Shyning lol
yup
Yup, it was recorded just after Bowles death, his tribute to him 😢
@@almostanengineer uh, not at all. It was written with variations to celebrate in a cool way, Chris' departure from the ISS. David Bowie himself loved and approved this version and fought his label to avoid any issue with Chris version. He ended up saying it was the most interesting and heartwarming version of his song. Definitely not to celebrate his death, considering Bowie was alive then...
Man, this guy has lived an amazing life. He was a fighter jet pilot, a retired and accomplished astronaut, and a musician. Just an amazing human being.
Also visited the sea floor in submersibles several times
He *is* a retired and accomplished astronaut and a musician. You had me worried there.
He is also very modest, on the Infinite Monkey Cage ( a BBC podcast I thoroughly recommend if you like to listen to scientists talk about stuff and take the piss out of each other) he says he can play the guitar and sing okay but he promised his son he would do this. He was on the Christmas special 2014. I love science and have recently discovered this pod cast and am working my way through all 192 episodes😊
Oui! Une personne incroyable... et qui parle français en plus! Merci Chris! 🚀🪐
The prospect of an astronaut singing a song about an astronaut dying is an oddity to me
It might not be what it's supposed to mean, but an astronaut DOES die in the song.
***** I see what you mean. I did notice the change in the lyrics, but I wasn't sure what it was about.
Steven Hallman wait Chris Hadfield retired
Why are you upside down?!
You might even say... it is a space oddity...
I'll let myself out.
*RIP Major Tom Stafford (Sep. 17, 1930 - Mar. 18, 2024) NASA astronaut, Comander Apollo 10 (1969).*
RIP❤
I can only imagine the honor Bowie must have felt watching this for the first time....RIP David...

I was just about to ask whether Bowie ever saw it and, if so, what he thought of it?
Oops, I should have read a few more comments before asking. I see that he loved it.
@@TroyOi not only did he see it, he found out about it when his record company pulled the video on copyright, and forced them to put it back up saying something along the lines of "he covered Space Oddity in SPACE! he wins"

Something like that but mostly it was a question of copyright law applying to something that was not recorded on Earth.
@@chetmcgovern9985 I swear to god if that's not the most amazing loophole in the whole damn universe.
Ever since I first watched it, I've always thought that this was the greatest TH-cam video ever made. I'm not saying that in a hyperbolic way, I honestly think that it's the best video ever made. It has, by nature of its location, a transcendence few TH-cam videos have or can really hope to have, and it makes perfect use of that. It elevates a song already generally well-known and beloved to a huge amount of people, to what feels, given the topic of the song, like what will be its ultimate state, at least for the foreseeable future. It is essentially the actualization of Space Oddity, or at least the closest we'll probably get for some time.
As a Canadian I support this comment lol. It always brings tears to my eyes.
It is a lie and a fraud, it cannot be great.
@@kyle-ld2gh I've got tears watching it right now!
@@intempco6333 it truly is the best video on TH-cam. I remember meeting Chris as a kid in Edmonton when he gave a huge presentation and talk. I think it was in 2000 or so. I think I was in grade 5. He was just as amazing and inspiring then as he is now.
@@kyle-ld2gh And it tickles me pink to know that Chris Hadfield is from my home town. While this mission was underway, he shot a picture of the home town from space, at night. I was so proud and happy to see that picture.
Excellent job. I never tire of seeing ISS fly-overs. Such a thrill.
I had the same thought. It currently costs $10,000 to shoot a pound of anything up to the Space Station. So Taxpayers payed a cool $30,000 so Major Tom could make a Viral Video with his space guitar.
@@Joe.Rogan. but the impact of this video is way bigger than $30.000.
Future STEM graduates will talk about it and how important it was to spark the interest in pursuing their careers.
@@Joe.Rogan.and its beautiful, totally worth it
You should try talking to the ISS. I have done it and all you need is a Ham Licence and a 2 meter rig. The call for the US is NA1SS.
@@Joe.Rogan. Every astronaut is allowed a certain amount of "luggage" for good reason. Anything to help them stay cool in a metal container with no immediate access to outside world with the dangers of low earth orbit should be seen as money well spent. That and he could have personally weighed a guitar more but still be within the "fit-for-space" specs...
Rappers: I'm so cool I sing my songs next to a 200k car
Chris: *Laughs in 150 billion USD*
More like 1 TRILLION. 150 billion for the US modules.
Its fun than a vehicle that's just for display

Chris Hadfield. Musician, singer, writer, engineer, physicist, philosopher, astronaut.. and so many more things, but above all just such a humble and nice guy.
Truly among the best that humanity has to offer. We are blessed and proud that we have someone like you representing the best of us out there.
You are a living embodiment of the word, inspiration.

If chris was the first human aliens met they would have unrealistic stabdards for humans

He can sing pretty good. He rocks the mustache. And he's a fucking astronaut. Somebody get this guy a medal. Just for being awesome.

Steven Hollingsworth I saw that on Ben Browns Channel
he sort of won a medal.he got a certificate from the Guinness book of world records
He has several medals. including ones for Military and Civilian service.
u know it
CSA: How important is it really to put a guitar in space?
Chris: Yes
he said in an interview that the guitar is still there and was there since 2001 because a lot of astronauts are singers and it's good entertainment
It's really important that astronauts are able to relax. Otherwise the productivity collapses
There's actually a really major music scene there. They even have a band with variable members depending on who is on Earth or not called Max Q.
ninja34744 no u
According to him, none of the astronauts placed the guitar in the ISS. It was a NASA psychiatrist who put the guitar there. The psychiatrist obviously understood the importance of arts & entertainment in boosting the morale and productivity of its space occupants. I found out this trivia when he gave a talk recently in Vancouver. Canada. It was a very informative & lively talk. Certainly worth the $100 I paid for the ticket. I highly recommend it.
I'm old enough to have watched the birth of space exploration from day one. This brings tears to my eyes. This really defines the word "GLORY" in all its positive aspects. Peace to all.
A few days ago, I was sitting outside and subconsciously humming "Space Oddity". I just looked at the night sky and all of a sudden, I saw ISS traversing through the sky. I was thrilled and it was the first time I saw it. It reminded me of Chris Hadfield in the ISS, singing it.
I appreciate the fact that David Bowie was still alive to hear this tribute to him.
He was? I tought the point of this video when it came out was a tribute to him after he died
@@alexandregagnon2564 he died in 2016. This Video is from 2013
@@Splicher ok thx
I like the idea that at least one of the bezillion views is Bowie's. (Now where is his comment?)
In an interview, this is what Chris had to say about Bowie:
"Bowie described my song as the most poignant version of the song ever done, which just floored me.
I think, for him, he knew he was ill - it was getting to the end of his life. He wrote that song at the beginning, when he was still 19 or 20, before we had even walked on the moon. He had always fantasied about flying in space - Starman, and Mars, and all that other stuff, and I think for him it was just like a gift, to have that song updated with the lyrics, performed actually in space, just a couple of years before he was taken.
To me that might be the best part: that he got delight out of my particular version of the song."
Chris is so focused on his music career that he trained for years to become a qualified astronaut just to film this music video. Respect man
IDK if this is a joke but he wanted to be an astronaut first. In fact, it was kid that actually came up with the idea to sing it. He originally didn't want to because its about an astronaut dying on a space walk, but his kid changed the lyrics so it was more benign
@Iori Jei Kisinamal ok good. Sorry, I'm bad at discerning jokes and sarcasm from real statements, especially in text.

What makes this better is the record label tried to take it down, but David Bowie himself told them to put it back up.
TheMonyarm Bowie is dead
@@freshfrench9541 Well jeez, no need to rub it in 😑
Wayne Filkins You must be getting this guy confused with the guy who posted the original comment. They’re not the same person. Also, it wasn’t a correction, because it’s incorrect. Everyone here knows that Bowie is dead, so it’s not new information; he’s been dead for a few years now. But this video was made well before he died, and a quick Google search proves the OP to be correct, while the aptly named Retard Jinkr is wrong.
" We will be taking this do-" David Bowie: "No"
Lmfao Wayne really made himself look like an idiot.
This is beyond beautiful. No amount of words or tears can express the way this makes me feel.
this cover holds a special place in my heart, it was the song we used at the start of my mums funeral a year ago, thank you chris hadfield
"Can I bring one instrument to space?"
"Sure. One is okay."
"Grand Piano"
Pogostic09 They actually have multiple instruments aboard the ISS, Chris talked about it in other videos :)
Glockenspiel!

This song makes the ISS the highest recording studio built by man.
probably highest priced as well...
Technically this is the most expensive music video ever made and most extreme as well
Also the most expensive recording studio ever...
And a cooperating studio
But I bet several studio engineers have been higher.
Watched the secret life of walter mitty yesterday and this song played. Had to rewatch this beautiful rendition of Bowie again. 10 years later it still makes me emotional
I don't care how many times I see this. It never gets old.

Another fun fact The ISS in a total module costs around 1 trillion dollars where as for the United States compartments costs around 150 billion dollars. 💵 😳

Fun fact: my bluetooth earphone was disconnected to my mobile phone while on the subway, and I played space oddity without knowing it was played over speaker. Nobody complaining and I start to realize when the dude next me start humming to the song. I decided to let the song finished before putting my earphone back. No regret after all
Proud Canadian here, this still gives me goosebumps watching this.
I want Chris to have a long life so he can do a cover of Life on Mars by David Bowie, on Mars.

Happy Solar Eclipse Mr Chris Hadfield
I'm 17 years old, ever since I was a kid I've had a incredible and strong desire to be an astronaut and experience space in real life. Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, and for the fact I have a bad GPA due to a traumatic experience I can safely say I'll never see space, or the earth, or see the beauty of the universe in my life. I'll never stop yearning, and looking at the stars, hoping to see them up close.. Maybe in another life..
same...
@@Seraphim___ It's alright bro, I've been reading things about the "Future of Space" but hopefully in the future it'll be just like flying. It'll be more accessible in the future. Who knows! maybe we'll all meet in space one day!
I'm in the same boat, a literal dropout I am :(
But, when you think about, all that's part of earth is part of earth. Our atoms are a part of this ecosystem, you may not see it with your own eyes, but I promise someday, your atoms will be part of one who will. So yeah, in a next life technically. But never give up on this life either, I don't want to give false happiness as I know a lot of stuff is indeed impossible, but the possibilities are practically infinite right now. It's never 0 :)
Someday, even if I'm not "me" I will go beyond the Earth
Like my science teacher said on the last day of school: “ Imagine writing a song about space, then around 40 years later a man in space plays it”
And rewrites the bit where the astronaut dies but rewrites him coming back and then showing up his coming from the ISS which I think can be a comforting alternative for major Tom
It's not like space stations weren't around when Bowie wrote the song..
@@someguy3999 But when Bowie wrote it #1 there was a much higher chance of astronauts actually dying in space or on re-entry (remember the crew of Apollo 13 almost didn't make it back) and #2 I don't think there were any that also had the musical talent to pull this off lol
@@someguy3999 Actually, this song was written and released ahead of the Apollo 11 moon landing 1n July 1969, while the first space station, the Soviet Union's Salyut 1 was launched in April 1971. So while the concept of space stations might have been around when the song was written, there were no actual space stations when Bowie wrote the song.

Great video.
But this is probably the single most expensive music video ever produced.
Show me any other music video where the set cost 150 billion dollars to build...
Robert Weidner Well as fun as it is to think it like that, that's pretty far from the truth. The ISS wasn't built for this video so this was most likely veeery cheap to make (just one performer and self edited). The same thing if Nicki Minaj shooted a music video in a city you don't add the buildings in the background to the cost of making the music video...
I'm pretty sure the ISS would count as "on location," not a set. Still, if you only count the cost of launching the weight of a guitar, a camera, a laptop for editing, and Chris Hadfield, into space it's probably the most expensive amateur-made music video ever.
Robert Weidner trillion
The thing is that he is actually an astronaut so he wasn't send to the space station for this video, he actually works there.
Well yeah, but then the cost of the video is literally just "half an hour of freetime spent" which honestly sounds too boring for space.
This is literally the coolest thing a human has ever done.....
ASP yep
By far

I never get tired of this. For nearly 10 years once or twice a week. Can't explain it or the feelings, for many times it is different. 2020 was when this really made an impact on me. Thank you for this.

Space oddity can't get any better
Chris: *hold my, oh nevermind, just gonna leave it floating*
2 Moro that was gooooood
Madlad
Oh lmao. I remember some of the astronaut is too used to zero g that they habitually "put" whatever they're holding in air ta grab other stuff
Nice!
Cover my beer so the liquid doesn't float away
I'm glad I was given the gift of waking up, even if for just a moment in the grand scheme of things, within this beautiful universe.
I find it hard to fathom that I am a part of the species that was capable of doing this, that is capable of realising that they are, that they exist.
My son had not long turned 1 year old when David Bowie passed on. He's 9 now and do you know what his favourite song is? You guessed it. A truly great song from a great musician/artist still winning new fans. Thankyou, David Bowie. Rest well.
this dude is going to be the reason why aliens will talk to us
this dude is going to be the reason we'll be able to talk to aliens
nah
If they come in the next years, he will talk to them, or at least try.
and Chuck Berry
а о and Chuck Norris is why aliens won’t invade us
props to david bowie defending this video from his own label.
Big Thumbs up for saying this. Bowie was never driven by money and from what I have seen here on YT he was genuinely humbled by this video. Who wouldn't be.
I feel honored to have this video on my playlist. Thank you ❤
After 10 years this video still gives me goosebumps. Incredible work
Can we just appreciate that Chris Hadfield didn't just sing Space oddity on the ISS for us.
He produced a whole f'in music video in High quality. While working up there
Hate to be that guy but
The actual story is way better. He recorded himself singing and some nice visuals as requested by his son. Chris then send the recordings down to earth for his son to edit into THIS video. He only saw the full finished video once he landed back on earth.
@@tj4y48 really?! Why was it when he was back on Earth that he saw it?!
@@tj4y48 Wait. I don't get it. The original comment said Chris produced with this music video (i.e. made ot himself) and you only added in that his son edited it. I'm a bit confused. Am i missing something?
he said it only took about one and a half hours to record and he sent it back to earth for his son to edit and release it
edit: yeah sorry i only saw someone had said it after i posted but now i dont wanna delete it incase you get a notification ._.
he cant tell the truth,.....cuz he is a fucking actor.....
Hopefully one day, 1000 years from now, some kid in his tenth grade history class reads about Chris Hadfield making the worlds first music video from outer space.
So wholesome
Jar Jar ,Real sith lord behind everything...
Cris hadfield Is the best
I want to go to space now
@@Theproudmomof03 ikr
How is it that with all the time I've spent on TH-cam checking out music, that I only stumble onto this today? :O
This is one of if not the most amazing cover I've ever had the pleasure to see
My teacher showed us this 10 years ago in school when I was 9. I was in absolute awe & Just came back to watch it for the first time since then and I still am :)
Send Mr. Bowie's remains into space, so he may rest with the stars.
+captloki13 We're all in space if you think about it ;)
+Cayenne So true. Let him stay here with us other star people :3
+captloki13 That's actually such a cute idea wish we could do that.
+captloki13 They sent the creator of Star Trek Gene Roddenberry's remains into space. I don't know if Bowie was an influential as Gene Roddenberry, but I don't see why they couldn't. Unless it was against his wishes and he wanted to be buried on Earth.
+captloki13 Do you know what would have been great? If Major Tim Peake took Bowie's ashes into space and released them when he was stepping through the door on his spacewalk. Then he could truly become stardust.
This song makes the ISS the most expensive and most sound proof studio ever built by mankind.
And the fact that they actually did it on the ISS because the vocal chords are naturally stretched apart is just true effort
Not sound proof at all, they have loads of loud fans going on in the ISS to keep the temperature under control. The only sound proof parts are the crew cabins which Chris recorded the vocals in with an ipad.
@@lonerider92 It's 100% soundproof - meaning, no sound escapes it. This is true even if it's loud and noisy inside.
@@joshs.gtrrrrits probably earth audio because, again, inside the iss its loud af
@@davidsharpe8426 soundproof also means no sound enters it, which is also true of the ISS
Still hurts. This is beautiful. Thank you.
This is awesome. I love how some of the lyrics are changed to more accurately fit modern space occupation. Sucks I've only found out about this now lol
Chris is a cool guy he just needs to be more down to earth.
I just can't resist a good pun
Nice
Oof
Zing.
Yea i bet hes...
_constantly high_
Teacher: You can't be a singer and an astronaut!
Chris: Hold my maple syrup
This is golden 😄
David K李誠彬 never speak of the golden syrup. It is forbidden
i had a good 10 minute laugh thanks to your comment and for that i thank you.
@@SuarezA21 Welcome!
Best comment so far, that had me laughing :)
Such a great video, needs to be archived
From a generation who all wanted to be Astronauts to ride the fire into the sky, you carry our hopes and dreams with you up there. You make us proud. God bless you all and safe travels.
no one can hear you in space
Chris: hold my beer

Correction: hold my beer bubble
You mean: hold my marple syrup
